I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game. You take criticism as a challenge.

If you play well on the field, everything will take care of itself.

In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

It doesn't take talent to work hard.

Everyone fears rejection.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.

When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

It doesn't take any talent to play hard.

Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
